Weekly Blog on creativity and what it takes to be an artist by David Limrite (artist, teacher, mentor & coach)

CREATING IS CONFIRMATION

" When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens and opens ways for a better understanding."

As an artist, you have the ability to get inspired, have an idea, acquire the skills, have the desire, muster up the intention, watch your creation unfold, delight in the sensation of touch and experience awhole range of emotions such as anticipation, fear, happiness, doubt, frustration, anger, bliss, excitement and elation (among others).

You savor the process and tend to it with delight. You are fully engaged in a process that allows you to bring something into being from nothing. Something that never existed before. Something that only existed in your mind. Something new, beautiful, shocking, thoughtful, odd or amazing. Something that will now exist in real life.

And your energy, spirit and aliveness cannot help but show up in the finished work.

OK, everybody. I am really excited about this brand new program that I am offering. YOUR CREATIVITY MATTERS is in full swing, so head on over here to read all about it and while you are there, also check out what Los Angeles painters, Jane Feil and Judy Zimbert, had to say about their first sessions with me.

I can’t wait to discuss your work, in your studio, with you.
